Chapter 44 The scholar's rebellion failed for three years!
The strategy made this mission unconventional, it was a temporary military commander in the frontier.
It was established during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the strategic envoys were also set up in the northwest and southwest border areas, but they were not often established. Their main responsibilities were to fight against the Western Xia and to recruit ethnic minorities in the border areas.
It is usually set up during wartime. Ouyang Bian came to Yongxing Army Road with the commander of the military commander, so many things were already doomed.
——Ouyang Bian came with a mission.
The 300,000 troops on the border, except for the Qinfeng Roadside Army led by the eunuch Li Xian, the Zhenrong Army led by Liu Changzuo, the Huanqing Army led by Zhao Xu's uncle Gao Zunyu, the Suide Army led by Zhong Yan, and the Security Army led by Wang Zhongzheng, were all troops controlled by the Yongxing Army Road Strategy Envoy.
Ouyang Bian came to Yongxing Jun Road, and this was the first time he went to inspect.
Huanqing Army was an army led by Zhao Xu's uncle Gao Zunyu. It was so close that Ouyang Bian took the lead in inspecting.
Ouyang Bian is a rule-performing person. When he went to inspect, he greeted Gao Zunyu in advance and did not engage in any sudden attacks. Such people who do not follow the rules of officialdom will not gain trust.
If Ouyang Bian was the censor to investigate the case, he could attack, but he came to understand the situation so that he could easily dispatch troops to condemn generals during the war. If he offended his subordinates as soon as he came, it would be possible that he would be fired by someone at that time.
Ouyang Bian was very etiquette, but when he came to the camp of Huanqing Army, Gao Zunyu was still quite arrogant.
The camp is no different in peace and in normal times, and there is no sign of welcome at all.
If it was an army with solemn military discipline, it would be fine if it was done like this. However, when Ouyang Bian inspected, he found that the military discipline of the army was abolished, and he was lazy and had no energy.
After observing secretly, Di Hu told Ouyang Bian that Gao Zunyu's battalion had a serious vacancies, and there might not even be half of the registered soldiers.
Ouyang Bian couldn't help but feel shocked.
The soldiers he saw were pale faces, thin skin and thin bones. How could such an army win a battle?
The army looks so embarrassing. Could it be that the court has not given enough military expenditure?
However, this is not the case. Ouyang Bian went through the Three Divisions, edited daily life notes, made imperial edicts, and established three divisions and other official positions, and knew a lot about the military's expenses.
The imperial court dared not deduct the military's expenses, because once the deduction or delayed distribution, it may cause mutiny. No one dared to lose the army, let alone the border army.
So where did the money go?
It is obvious that the generals of the Song Dynasty were extremely serious.
However, Ouyang Bian has never seen it with his own eyes, and he has not thought it was so serious.
This time, Ouyang Bian felt half cold when he saw him.
Ouyang Bian went around the Zhenrong Army, Suide Army, and the Security Army again, and found that the situation of Huanqing Army was not the only one, but mostly like this.
Ouyang Bian was silent for a long time before sighing: "It's really a lucky thing that the Song Dynasty was able to survive for so many years!"
But it is not without benefits. If the Song Dynasty's army had this kind of virtue... hehe.
Ouyang Bian was happy again.
Such an army was able to peck at the Western Xia and Liao Kingdom for so long, which means that everyone's level is similar.
No wonder the huge Liao Kingdom was beaten up by the Jurchens, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens. It turned out that after so long, everyone was weak.
Ouyang Bian suddenly became confident.
First, it is against this battle between Song and Xia, and second, it is because if he wants to establish a base in Shaanxi, he has to face the threat of the border troops.
Now Ouyang Bian has not figured out how to seize power, but he has to make the worst plan.
The worst plan is naturally to violently overthrow the Song Dynasty, but this method is difficult to judge, but it is the greatest harm to the strength of the entire country. The best way is naturally to not fight and then take over the regime.
Ouyang Bian thought about it for a long time in that way, but hesitated and could only take one step at a time.
But now Ouyang Bian has confidence, because if the strength of the Song Dynasty's army was like this, even at the worst, he could use his army to sweep away violently overthrow the regime.
However, now it is time to prepare for what happened after the failure to attack Xixia.
With the current virtue of the Song army, it would be strange if they can win. If they lose, their own strategy will undoubtedly be the best target. They may be dismissed and then transferred to somewhere to stay, which would be bad.
Ouyang Bian felt that he could not leave Shaanxi no matter what. Even if he disobeyed and rebelled, he had to stay here. This was the foundation for seizing the world.
The Guanzhong Plain, Hanzhong, Hetao, and these places can be occupied, from the Central Plains, southwest, and Jingzhou. Using this place as the base, it will be invincible.
But in this way, his mission is too urgent.
Let's sort out the timeline.
Once the war between Song and Xia begins, the Song Dynasty will definitely take the initiative to attack this time. After entering the Western Xia, with the military discipline and ability of the Song army, failure is predictable.
Once you fail, with Song Ting's urinary nature, you will definitely find someone to take the blame. Oh, no, because of Zhao Xu's urinary nature, you will definitely find someone to take the blame. So who else is the best urinary person besides Ouyang Bian?
Then you have to disobey at this time.
Disobedience is rebellion.
Rebellion is a very complex project. Now in the same year as Jiayou, the two years old, all of them are scattered around, and everyone is loyal and patriotic. Once they rebel, how many people can follow them is not clear.
Whether Zhong Yi, Zhe Ju, Zhong E and others of the Banking Regulatory Commission are willing to rebel with themselves is also a big question. They are all generals, so why should they rebel with themselves?
Even people from their own Agricultural Bank of China, West Lake City, and Ocean Group may not be willing to rebel with them.
This alone made Ouyang Bian's head bigger.
It seems quite simple to see the kings who have established nations in the past dynasties to capture the world, but the difficulties are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The right time, place, and people are indispensable.
None of those kings who established the country did not take advantage of the general trend and rely entirely on themselves to create opportunities. There was no such thing as this.
The Song Dynasty seemed corrupt, but it was not yet time for the real building to collapse. Even if it was overthrown by the Jin Kingdom later, it was because the Jin Kingdom was strong enough that the Song Dynasty today could still confront Liaoxia.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Bian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
No wonder people say that scholars failed to rebel for three years.
Now I am thinking about rebelling, and the more I think about it, the more I give in. If those who are willing to do so, with ten thousand cavalry in hand and some theoretical strength, they may turn back tonight. As for success or failure, it will be after the fight.
But he can't do it.
